CHEYENNE, Wyo. — More than half of Laramie County’s registered voters have already cast their ballots.
As of Wednesday, 14,373 of the county’s 39,373 registered voters have cast their ballots, according to Laramie County Clerk Debra Lee. Another 5,156 have returned their absentee mail ballots since Oct. 8, the start of Wyoming’s early-absentee voting period.
“We continue to receive requests for absentee ballots, although it will be difficult for those requesting a ballot this late to receive them in time to mark them and get them back by the legal deadline,” Lee said in a news release. “We strongly recommend voters return absentee mail ballots directly to our office or use the county’s ballot drop box to ensure we receive them in time to be counted.”
Laramie County’s 24/7 ballot drop box is located next to the Laramie County Governmental Complex, situated between 19th and 20th Street on Carey Avenue. Voters have until 7 p.m. Nov. 5 to return their ballots to the clerk’s office for counting.
